Small marine reserves do not provide a safeguard against overfishing
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 Marine reserves aim to protect harvested species within their boundaries and can therefore provide insurance against the effects of overfishing. To evaluate whether marine reserves are meeting this expectation, we compiled over 40 years of rock lobster ...

Increasing spillover enhances southern California spiny lobster catch along marine reserve borders
Ecosphere, 2022 The conservation benefits of marine reserves are well established but their contribution to adjacent fisheries via spillover is less certain and context‐dependent.

Connectivity within and among a network of temperate marine reserves.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Networks of marine reserves are increasingly being promoted as a means of conserving marine biodiversity. One consideration in designing systems of marine reserves is the maintenance of connectivity to ensure the long-term persistence and resilience of ...

THE ECONOMICS OF MARINE RESERVES
Natural Resource Modeling, 2002 ABSTRACT. Marine reserves can be a useful supplement to other methods of fisheries management, but marine reserves alone are not likely to achieve a great deal in economic terms andperhaps not even in terms of conservation. The effects of marine reserves with open access elsewhere are analyzed, using a logistic model for a population with a patchy ...

Marine reserve effects on fishery profit [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2008 Abstract Some studies suggest that fishery yields can be higher with reserves than under conventional management. However, the economic performance of fisheries depends on economic profit, not fish yield. The predictions of higher yields with reserves rely on intensive fishing pressures between reserves; the exorbitant costs of ...
